I found this site while searching on Google. Basically what it does is break down animes and movies down to their simplest forms [and often making fun of them on the process]. It's funny so click on the link.

WASHINGTON - Consumer advocate Ralph Nader (news - web sites) announced Sunday he will run again for the presidency, declaring that Washington has become "corporate occupied territory" and arguing there is too little difference between the Democratic and Republican parties.

<table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="1%"> <tbody><tr valign="top"> </tr></tbody></table>

"This country has more problems and injustices than it deserves," Nader said, bemoaning a "democracy gap." Nader, who turns 70 this week, said he wants to "challenge this two-party duopoly."



"There's too much power and wealth in too few hands," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."



"Washington is now corporate occupied territory," Nader said. "There is now a for-sale sign on most agencies and departments. ... Basically, it's question of both parties flunking."



He decided against running under the banner of the Green Party. Nader's candidacy four years ago has been blamed by many Democrats for costing Al Gore (news - web sites) the election against Bush.



Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) chairman Terry McAuliffe, who has personally urged Nader not to run, said Nader would not have the same impact this time.



"I can tell you Green Party members are all coming into the (Democratic) party saying they want to help us because they know the stakes are so big this time," he said on CBS's "Face the Nation."



"It will be much more difficult for him," McAuliffe said.



Republicans largely have declined to comment on any benefits a Nader candidacy would have for Bush.



"If Ralph Nader runs, President Bush (news - web sites) is going to be re-elected and if Ralph Nader doesn't run, President Bush is going to be re-elected," Republican National Committee (news - web sites) chairman Ed Gillespie said on CBS"s "Face the Nation."



At a Sunday gathering of governors in Washington, former RNC chairman Haley Barbour, now governor of Mississippi said: "It will make less difference than the Democrats fear, but I know they're very nervous about it."



Asked if he was getting into the race to be a spoiler, Nader replied: "A spoiler is a contemptuous term, as if anybody who dares to challenge the two party system .. is a spoiler, and we've got to fight that.."



"Let me say, this is going to be difficult," said Nader, who planned a round of interviews after his announcement. But he also said, "This is not a democracy that can be controlled by two parties in the grip of corporate interests."



Third party candidacies have been a greater part of presidential politics in recent years; businessman Ross Perot (news - web sites) twice ran for president, winning 19 percent of the vote in 1992.



"It's his personal vanity because he has no movement. Nobody's backing him," New Mexico Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson said.



As the Green Party's nominee in 2000, Nader appeared on the ballot in 43 states and Washington, D.C., garnering only 2.7 percent of the vote. But in Florida and New Hampshire, Bush won such narrow victories that had Gore received the bulk of Nader's votes in those states, he would have won the general election.

This sure is an unusual server error.

What I want for my xbox is more RPGs , the Xbox with games like KOTOR has proven to be capable of having stellar rpgs and too me I feel Microsoft should try to buy a exclusive Final fantasy game like crystal cronicle for the Nintendo gamecube.

The Xbox has a decent amount of sports and racing games , Some good FPS , But it needs RPGs and definently should buy a developer to make some good RPGs and like I said get a exclusive Final fantasy game.

They should also Get Rare to make a new RPG? perhaps also get them to make Starfox and jet force gemini games.

Article last September that attacks Infinium.

http://www.newsforge.com/entertainment/0...=22&tid=83

Infinium's prompt response: A legal letter sent yesterday telling them to take the story down or else.

Both articles are great reads... the first has stuff we knew (their office is a PO box in a strip mall, the CEO has led several failed tech firms in the late '90s, etc), but the second one is about this legal action... hilarious...
Here's a quote.

Quote:Since I certainly wouldn't want to get a letter like that, let's state for the record that I think Infinium Labs is great, and that when its CEO, Tim Roberts, told me in person he had $25 million in venture capital behind him, and it later turned out he didn't, I must have misunderstood him.

I would also like to state for the record that at a later date, when Mr. Roberts and one of his associates told me -- again in person -- that they had signed up 12 game publishers for their Phantom.net service, and gradually backed down under further questioning until they only claimed a deal with one, I must have had wax in my ears or something. Mr. Roberts is a fine gentleman who owns a lovely home in the exclusive community of Longboat Key that is currently valued at $1,250,100 by the Sarasota County Property Appraiser. When a reporter hears a statement from a person of this caliber, and that person later corrects the reporter, it is obvious that the reporter is in error.

...e.g. the 'Post as Many Pics as You Can' thread.

I'll start!


Name-Commonwealth Stadium
Location-Edmonton, Alberta
Rating (/10)-10
Best game you ever saw there-The Heritage Classic, without a shadow of a doubt, has been the best game I have ever seen in ANY stadium. But seeing as how this is a football stadium, the best football game I've ever seen there is Edmonton Eskimos vs. Calgary Stampeders, last year, on Labour Day weekend. Dang, the Eskimos kicked ass, like they always do.

Name-Rexall Place (formerly known as Skyreach Center, formerly known as about 10 other names) [btw I can't find any interior pics...shit]
Location-Edmonton, Alberta
Rating-9
Best game-vs. Colorado last season, where Edmonton positively whupped on 'em.

Name-Pengrowth Saddledome (but does that look like a dome to you?]
Location-Calgary, Alberta
Rating-6
Best game-Um, I've only been to one. About a month and a half ago. But I was luckey enough (along with the rest of my hockey team) to score BOX seats, in the most perfect location to watch the game (PLUS the Flames lost, against the extremely horrible Blackhawks). These boxes cost a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year to own; good thing we've got a rich kid on our team

Name-Kingdome
Location-Seattle, Washington
Rating-7
Best Game-Only been to one, and it was when I was only seven or eight. I don't even know what team the Mariners were playing. But I DO remember the stadium to be farely nice looking.

Name-Coors Field
Location-Denver, Colorado
Rating-8
Best Game-STILL only been to one! But it was an awesome game, great crowd, and it was against the Florida Marlins. I caught a baseball at the game, that was probably my biggest highlight of the night.

And finally...one stadium that I really wanna go and watch a game (Ericsson stadium, in North Carolina) just 'caue it's so beautiful:

It's true! I have proof!
